I dunno if that'll work... Water is a super-regulator for heat. Seriously. VERY few things conduct heat away from or towards something as well as water. The hotter you get, unless the water itself warms up several degrees, all you'll actually do is just dissipate it into the surrounding water even quicker!
Water is extremely efficient at dissipating heat throughout it. So your "warm spot" quickly gets a LOT colder while the surrounding water only rises by a degree or two at best. You'd literally have to go feverish hot before you make a significant difference to the water.
And thanks to the human body being like 80% or more water, the water actually regulates your temperature even BETTER than it would for, say, a pure metal ore. And they use water to very rapidly cool superheated ores in foundries! And they use water to cool MASSIVELY superheated uranium ore in power plants!
